Operation Deliberate Force is the first authoritative account of the military events of 1995 that draws on the accounts of the key participants. In exclusive interviews - Lieutenant General Rupert Smith, the British commander of UN forces inside Bosnia; Lieutenant General Bernard Janvier, the French commander of UN forces in former Yugoslavia; and Lieutenant General Mike Ryan, the USAF commander of the NATO air campaign - tell for the first time the inside story of the military moves that brought the war in three year long Bosnian war to an end. They describe their roller-coaster year, from the disasters of the spring and summer of 1995 through to launching of Operation Deliberate Force in August and September.
